Someone has to DO something to that number first though.

Last I checked, you can say anything you want on the net AND get away with it. Unless you're a high school student in Canada, where you can get the book tossed at you for death threats made on Myspace or making fun of others on Facebook.

I'm just dying of hilarity at Digg.

They screwed up. Baaaaaaad.

Take a guess on what this is, and there's countless other ways to get around it as you can see on digg.com

I'd have pointed out the decimal conversion as well if HyperHacker didn't beat me to it

This new banner rocks, BTW.

As Slashdot pointed out, there's also simply 10... in base 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,640

Look at the last 16 bytes in this BMP now (the above one was PNG)



All this just to say you really can't copyright a simple number ... although remember last year when some people pushed that logic pretty far by splitting whole copyrighted files into a product of numbers (and setting up a file sharing system with that), so who knows

Now with JPG:

Well technically all files are just giant strings of numbers. Or a series of spots on a plastic disc, or magnetic charges on a metal one, or a very complex path through the circuitry of a memory chip. However, there are laws in place to protect not the numbers themselves but the program/media/etc they form. 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 does not form anything, it's just an arbitrary 32-digit number. (You could do as Acmlm's done and make it form something, sure, but then I could do the same and make the numbers that form my favourite HD-DVD movie also form a very long annoying song or something. )

[edit] Rofl.

BA HA HA HA


Digg will be down for a brief period, while we make some changes.

I bet they'll be back up within the next 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,640 minutes though.

Coincidentally, 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,640 just happens to be the number of things that are good about DRM, plus 13,256,278,887,989,457,651,018,865,901,401,704,640. And 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 just happens to be:

  • Number of lives a cat has
  • The key you press to switch Tab Focus using Tab Mix Plus, represented as a hex number
  • The smallest number whose English name has 9 letters
  • Number of digits there are in Binary
  • Number of Pokémon you would have in Red/Blue if you had one of every Pokémon in your PC and a full party (note the party is not counted as part of the one-of-each collection here)
  • The atomic number of an element temporarily called ununhexium
  • The smallest prime in base 10 that added up to the reversal of its digits yields another prime
  • The smallest pseudoprime satisfying the congruence 3n = 3 mod n.
  • The smallest cube that's also the sum of three cubes
  • The code for international direct dial phone calls to Singapore
  • The model number of F-86 Sabre and Ilyushin Il-86 aircraft
  • What you get if you add one to C4 (as in plastic explosives)
  • The largest 2-digit number in base 10
  • The atomic number of radon
  • The sum of the ninth row of Lozanić's triangle
  • The smallest number with exactly 14 divisors

All one byte each. Thanks Wikipedia.

[edit] Lol, Wikipedia's HD-DVD article and even its talk page are locked. (I wasn't going to post the key... just wanted to see the commotion...)

It's unlikely we get this site in trouble.

Especially when it's not US-based. The Acmlm board server is in Germany. As far I know, the DMCA is US only.


But Germany has other problems, like software to circumvent copy protection is illegal there.

Good thing I live in Switzerland.

I lol'd. This is a lesson in moderation to anyone, but I think Digg eventually had no choice. It's a bastard that they have to fight for what their users believe in, rather than users fighting for it themselves. That's just sad.

I think this is a lesson to any company sending a cease&desist to anything on the web. It just won't happen.

Honestly, I'm very happy that Digg eventually decided to move in the user's interests, for a variety of reasons:

- It shows that not everyone will just up and go "OH WELL!" and take down content with a DMCA notice without a fight to prove that it damn well should go down

- It shows that Digg really is about its users and not just the people behind the scenes

- It actually shows a community fighting against what they believe in

I'm not a open-source-lulz person, but I can say outright that things like the DMCA have been fucking everyone over and only making problems worse, and it's fucking time everyone starts standing up against it.

So aren't the people who are losing money from this probably going to stop producing DVDs?

I think that people who is fed up with DRM would bring bigger losses than people who just do plain piracy. It's ironic when people start pirating to get around DRM schemes...

Seems more like digg had no choice but to stop removing articles. People would have been fed up if they continued, and they would only lose users that way.
